  1. The real question: Will Bernie win and take NH by 25 or will Hillary win to make Bernie take NH by 15 instead? NO PRESSURE

    1. I think every single birder and sportsman in the West should Civil Sue those bastards for every penny they have or will ever make. And their commercial supporters, too.

  2. Sadly, work prevents me from watching this one with you all as well. But I'll be here for the Saturday night freak show GOP debate!

    1. That's why I'm not watching…pretty much know their positions. But it's good for them to have more exposure before the people el Rushbo and his adherents call "low information voters." I can't credit it personally but have heard there are people who don't watch Fox News or MSNBC. They must be thinking, "This is the most boring episode of 'American Idol' ever."

  3. Okay, I've got a shower stall with a slate floor that nobody really cleaned for a coupla years, and its got white scale/soap scum all over it. It's so calcified that you can take it off with a paint scraper, but the surface is rough and slate is kind of delicate. Over the past two days I've tried window cleaner (might worked, who knows?) a poultice of bleach and baking soda, various commercial products, and finally ammonia and baking soda, which nearly took me out. (And would have if I'd followed some helpful web advice to mix bleach and ammonia).

    No luck so far, despite assidous scrubbing, swabbing, gasping for fresh air. Any suggestions? Prospective tenants are understandably a bit grossed out.

    What, this isn't the household hint hotline? Sorry!

      1. Everything I read says you don't want to use acid on stone, particularly soft porous stone like slate. Ammonia is plenty caustic, but the opposite pH, right?

        1. Well, I remember cleaning / smoothing slate table tops with …….some dilute acid….muriatic? Pool acid?

          Probably don't wanna let it sit there though. I'm sure our resident chemists and engineers will know best.

          1. Vinegar (the white stuff) is Acetic acid, from 5% up to 20%. That "scale" is dried minerals – calcium, mag, some other stuff – from the hard water and you need acid to mobilize it. Pour it on, let it fizz for a bit , then scrub. I think the slate will be fine, if you rinse it well afterwards. Limestone would be a problem, as the acid will eat that right up. There's buildings made of mined compacted coral (Bermuda) that are literally melting in the (acid) rain.

  4. Bernie's Righteously Indignant and comes off as absolutely genuine. That's a tough nut to crack when there's so many Americans who are equally as righteously indignant.

  5. Good. Bernie had a chance to escalate, but didn't, Q was about Hillz, again and he went to general Wall Street BAD.

  6. I thought politicians weren't allowed to know things, why are both of these people talking about important topics?

  7. What, Big Business again? When are they going to talk about Mexico building the wall, carpet bombing the entire Middle East, making birth control illegal and winning the War on Christmas?

  8. Both just said they're not sure when they'll pull out troops. And honestly… Considering we have no idea of the situation as of January 2017, that's probably not a terrible thing.

  9. Bernie, you're going to have to use more than one vote in 2002 to win on foreign policy. It just can't be the only selling point.

    1. Rachel brought it up, she said the Koch heads want to privatize the VA. Hillz and Bern are both, understandably, against that. I'm guessing they're against stupidity in general.

    1. He is not in the same league as Rachel. He goes for the shallow, sensational issues. Frustrating because they can give canned answers to those questions which doesn't do a service to us viewers.

  10. Here's a transcript of Chuck Todd's questions

  11. Snyder should be in jail. They won't say that because calling for a sitting governor to go to jail would cause a huge controversy but I have a feeling a lot of people are thinking it.

  12. Flint's highly unionized, which I think is also a huge factor. Don't want to help political enemies, after all, let's just let them deal with their lead!

  13. That started ugly then got a lot nicer later. Much, much better overall than anything the Republicans give. They gave real answers on issues and everything!

  14. Wouldn't it be great if these two were running and we could have rational discussions instead of dealing with Trump, Cruz, Rubio, et. ad. nauseum?
